SPECIAL REPORT 2022 What Car? Reliability Survey The most and least dependable models in every class revealed GROUP TEST Kia EV6 vs Nissan Ariya Nissan’s crucial new electric SUV goes up against our reigning Car of the Year New Mercedes-Benz GLC Second-generation Audi Q5 rival gets plug-in hybrid power and up to 75 miles of electric range New Polestar 6 revealed All-electric convertible can hit 62mph in just 3.2sec and charge in as little as 20 minutes…

TESTING PROCESS WITH A SUITABLY fur and crumbfilled car to hand, we tested several vacuum cleaners and their available attachments to see how easily they accessed and cleaned awkward areas around the seats, as well as the clearer space of a carpeted boot. All take less than four hours to fully charge, so we rated them on how well they vacuumed, how long their battery lasts and how easy they are to use, as well as factoring in affordability and build quality. WHAT CAR? BEST BUY CORDLESS VACUUM CLEANERS 1 VacLife Price £31.99 Buy from Amazon Max run time 20min The VacLife feels solidly built, and its attachments (which include a crevice nozzle and a brush head) fit securely and make it just as easy to tackle gaps under your…

WHEN MOONRAKER WAS released in 1979, many bemoaned that its ‘007 in space’ premise was a too-obvious cash-in on the success of Star Wars. “Bond should stick to being a spy, not an astronaut,” they said. Similarly, we reckon the Volvo XC40 is more convincing in this down-to-Earth plug-in hybrid guise than as a fully electric car. In fact, we named the XC40 our 2022 Family SUV of the Year, and this Recharge T4 is our favourite version. Why’s that, then? Well, no rival can beat its sheer all-round ability at the price. Yes, its 28-mile official battery range (we managed 21 miles in our real-world test) is beaten by the Range Rover Evoque P300, and that car earns a lower company car tax bracket. However, it’s also considerably more…

IT’S RARE FOR companies to get a new product right first time. Nintendo’s first games console, for example, was a total failure, and while Microsoft made a tablet computer long before Apple, most of us are more familiar with the iPad than the Tablet PC. Sometimes, though, a brand gets a new product so right that it jumps straight to the top of its class – and that’s what has happened with the Lexus NX 450h+. This is Lexus’s first plug-in hybrid (as opposed to the regular hybrids it’s known for), but drive it and you’d think the brand had been making them for years. There’s an impressively long electric range on offer – officially up to 45 miles, or around 35 miles in real-world conditions – so it can…

BEING A SHOW-OFF is not generally considered to be an attractive attribute, but in the world of car design, the opposite is often true. Take the BMW i3 for example. Launched in 2014, BMW’s first electric vehicle (EV) was a high-tech showcase of everything the brand could do. And with its radical styling, fancy rear-hinged back doors and recycled interior trim, it showed that EVs could be more than just white goods; they could be fun and desirable. Considering the i3’s impact on the EV world, it’s hard to believe that it has taken BMW nearly a decade to do another purpose-built electric vehicle, but the good news is that it has been worth the wait. With lessons learned from the i3, the iX is made from exotic materials such…

PORSCHE CAR REVIEWS tend to feature the phrase “As you’d expect with a Porsche” fairly frequently because, well, the brand’s hard-won reputation is well known. The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, on the other hand, defies expectations by combining the required performance and luxury with a 141.2mpg fuel economy figure that just doesn’t seem possible in a car like this. How? By using the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology we’re used to seeing on considerably less glamorous cars. That means you get a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine plus an electric motor for a combined 456bhp, with power for the motor provided by a 17.9kWh battery. If you keep it charged up, you’ll be able to do most journeys without using a drop of petrol (the electric top speed is comfortably higher than…

1 Seat Leon AS A FAMILY car, the latest Leon gets the basics right by offering a big boot and even more space for passengers than the gigantic Skoda Octavia. But it also serves up a very welcome slice of fun and costs less to run than you’d think. Don’t go thinking that the Leon feels even remotely hairshirt, either. It’s every bit as smart inside as the more expensive Volkswagen Golf, while its infotainment system is more user-friendly. Our pick 1.5 TSI Evo 130 FR List price £25,585 Target Price £24,680 MPG 50.5 CO2 127g/km For Great handling; smart, spacious interior; punchy yet frugal petrol engines; generous standard spec Against Ride is on the firm side; more wind and road noise than some rivals; very few optional extras available WHAT…

1 Volvo XC40 IT MAY HAVE been a few years since we voted Volvo’s most affordable SUV our overall Car of the Year, but it remains a hugely desirable product that’s backed up by real substance. The XC40 blends generous passenger space and a practical boot with a quality interior and the sort of top-notch safety you expect from the brand. Plus, our recommended plug-in hybrid version has plenty of poke and promises to be cheap to run. Our pick Recharge T4 Plus (Dark Theme) List price £44,450 Target Price £42,488 MPG 134.5 CO2 47g/km For Stylish, high-quality interior; big and clever boot; supple ride on most versions; comprehensive safety kit Against Fiddly infotainment system; lacks the rear seat flexibility of some rivals; body sways around a bit WHAT CAR? SAYS Kia…

1 BMW 5 Series OUR FAVOURITE LUXURY car for the past four years still offers the very best traits of this class. Take the interior, for example: it’s virtually identical to that of the pricier 7 Series and just as well made, despite the 5 Series costing far less. As a bonus, the 530e plug-in hybrid variant can complete many journeys on electric power. And even when its petrol engine does fire up, the car is quiet enough to shame full-on limousines. Our pick 530e M Sport (Pro Pack) List price £58,075 Target Price £53,646 MPG 188.3 CO2 33g/km For Fast and fun, yet comfortable and refined; low running costs, particularly as a company car; superb interior Against You need to add adaptive suspension (part of the Pro Pack) for the best…

1 Skoda Superb Estate SPACE IS THE name of the game when you’re looking at wagons, and the Superb Estate has been our favourite for six years, striking the sweet spot of practicality, comfort, low running costs and value more accurately than any rival. In fact, with masses of load space for flat-pack furniture or suitcases and palatial comfort for passengers, it’s one of the most impressive family holdalls in any class of car. Our pick 2.0 TDI 150 SE L List price £34,245 Target Price £32,661 MPG 55.9 CO2 132g/km For Comfortable ride; limo-like rear passenger space; huge boot with lots of practical touches; well priced Against Some rivals are more fun to drive on twisty roads; automatic gearbox can be a tad jerky in traffic WHAT CAR? SAYS Skoda Octavia…

1 Ford Puma ST UNTIL RECENTLY, BUYING a sports SUV required a sizeable outlay, but the Ford Puma ST changes that. And don’t think the fact that it costs far less than the competition means it’s far less fun. Even the mighty Porsche Cayenne has to bow to the Puma’s incredible agility, while its greater driver engagement and less extreme acceleration mean there’s far more chance to enjoy yourself on public roads. Our pick 1.5 Ecoboost 200 Performance Pack List price £31,575 Target Price £30,416 MPG 41.5 CO2 155g/km For Hugely entertaining handling; tuneful and punchy engine; relatively cheap to buy and run Against Occasionally bouncy ride; infotainment system could be slicker; Volkswagen T-Roc is bigger in the back WHAT CAR? SAYS Porsche Cayenne Coupé Our pick GTS List price £96,120 Target…

IT’S ALWAYS TOUGH for a new car brand – particularly one with premium aspirations in a market that, for decades, has been dominated by the German triumvirate of Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. But it didn’t help that, when Genesis arrived in the UK last year, its offerings were slightly underwhelming. Not terrible, by any means – but given the competition it was up against, the GV80 luxury SUV wasn’t efficient or comfortable enough. Meanwhile, the BMW 3 Series-sized G70 saloon was a car we described as “well off the pace”. It was starting to look as though Genesis might go the same way as Infiniti (the premium arm of Nissan) and decide it would be better off focusing on less discerning markets. So, our expectations for the new GV60, the…

DRIVERS WHO HAVE disabilities could soon find it easier to charge up electric cars, thanks to new initiatives being tried out by the charity Motability Operations. The organisation – which provides affordable motoring for disabled people and their families in the UK – is planning a series of pilot schemes to help drivers who want to go electric but don’t have the option of plugging in a car at home. It follows a Government-backed survey that showed that 71% of drivers with disabilities feared a lack of accessible charging options could derail their plans to trade in their petrol or diesel car for an electric one. In one of the trials, Motability Operations will support drivers to use the Zap-Map app, which can be used to search for and navigate…

LARGE ELECTRIC CAR Tesla Model S After a spell off sale, the car that made Elon Musk a household name is back with a reimagined interior that has a 17.0in infotainment screen as its centrepiece. Also new is a version named Plaid; with 1006bhp, it promises a scarcely believable 0-60mph time of just 1.99sec, according to its maker. Price from £80,000 (est) SMALL AND FAMILY SUVS Mazda MX-30 REx December 2022 Quirky small SUV combines electric tech with a rotary petrol engine to extend the range. Mini Countryman Early 2023 Packs 322bhp in plug-in hybrid form. Renault Austral Autumn 2022 Hybrid family SUV replaces the Kadjar. Smart #1 Summer 2023 Small electric SUV can tow up to 1600kg. Toyota Corolla Cross Autumn 2022 Nissan Qashqai rival has hybrid engines. EXECUTIVE…

Mercedes-Benz G-Class 400d AMG Line Premium Plus List price £123,500 Target Price £123,500 Charming old-school 4x4 combines a luxurious interior with serious off-road skills, but it’s the most expensive here. Can it compete with its more road-biased rivals? BMW iX xDrive50 M Sport Edition List price £107,305 Target Price £106,241 Range-topping version of BMW’s electric luxury SUV has far more power than its diesel rivals, plus an impressive official range NEW Range Rover D350 HSE List price £108,775 Target Price £108,775 New iteration of Land Rover’s flagship luxury SUV promises improved comfort and efficiency without sacrificing its famous off-road ability. We’re testing it in its most powerful diesel guise You could say that these cars depict the past, present and future of luxury SUVs. Each of them serves up the…

WHEN GUESTS ADMIRE your new living room bookcase, you might say “Ah, it’s from Habitat” with pride in your voice. And yet, now that the fashionable furniture maker’s wares can be bought at some supermarkets, you probably paid less than your visitors think. In the same vein, this plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Audi A3 Sportback can be had for a lot less money than anyone seeing it is likely to imagine. How so? Well, although it comes with all the perceived prestige that’s associated with the four circles on its grille, this premium family car currently costs less per month on PCP finance than its mechanically similar sibling, the Skoda Octavia iV SE L. It’s remarkably economical on paper, too – although the 257mpg figure should be taken…

DUNGAREES, WE’RE TOLD, are big news in fashion right now, proving that something practical can be just as trendy as the slinkier, more provocatively styled alternatives. That’s good news for the Vauxhall Combo Life, which, stylistically, is rather more Postman Pat than Penelope Pitstop. Mind you, this square-rigged MPV picked up extra fashion points last year, when the petrol and diesel versions were dropped leaving only the fully electric Combo-e in the showroom. In fact, alongside the near-identical Citroën e-Berlingo and Peugeot e-Rifter, you’re looking at some of the first fully electric MPVs on sale in the UK, and innovation such as this can only be a good thing. When you think about it, electric power is a perfect fit for an MPV. This is a car that’s designed to…

IF THE X5 xDrive45e were an International Rescue vehicle, it would be Thunderbird 2 – not because it’s green with a yellow stripe (although BMW would probably paint it like that if you paid enough), but because it’s incredibly versatile. For starters, this huge plug-in hybrid SUV can travel for up to 52 miles on electric power before it needs to use its petrol engine at all. That not only means it has the potential to save you a fortune in fuel, but also helps it qualify for a low, 8% benefit-in-kind tax rating. By comparison, company car drivers who choose an equivalent Audi Q7 or Porsche Cayenne will be taxed at 12% and 14% respectively. True, the 45e won’t be as efficient as a diesel X5 once its battery…

Price today £29,000* Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0 TSI 245 List price when new £33,460 Available from 2020-present The car that arguably made hot hatches a thing grew sharper teeth in this Mk8 form Honda Civic Type R 2.0 VTEC Turbo GT List price when new £34,820 Available from 2017-2022 The Type R brings a 74bhp power advantage and is an established drivers’ favourite Price today £29,000* MOST HOT HATCHES fall somewhere between smooth jazz and heavy metal. Where one lands depends on its blend of everyday usability and exciting driving dynamics – two attributes the Volkswagen Golf GTI balances superbly. From the iconic original to the latest model, it’s always owned the middle ground. But is that all you want out of a hot hatch: an equal blend of the sensible…

1 Mercedes-AMG A45 MAKE NO MISTAKE: our 2022 Hot Hatch of the Year is more than just a one-trick pony. Yes, it’s ballistically quick in a straight line, belting from 0-62mph in just 3.9sec, but it’s also agile and entertaining through corners. You can adjust the four-wheel drive system to send the majority of power to the rear wheels only to allow you to slide it (on a track). The ride is firm, though, and you’ll need deep pockets to afford one. Our pick S Plus List price £58,728 Target Price £58,728 MPG 31.1 CO2 206g/km For Savage performance; immense grip; engaging handling; quick-shifting automatic gearbox Against Very expensive to buy and run; firm ride; not as quiet or easy to live with as the rival Audi RS3 WHAT CAR? SAYS Audi…

1 Hyundai Santa Fe THERE’S LOADS TO like about the latest Santa Fe, including its huge boot and practical interior with seating for up to seven adults. The regular hybrid version that we recommend offers the best tradeoff between price and running costs, and even entry-level Premium trim comes with many of the luxuries that are available only on high-end versions of the closely related Kia Sorento, making it fantastic value for money. Our pick 1.6 T-GDi Hybrid 4WD Premium List price £43,465 Target Price £42,092 MPG 40.4 CO2 159g/km For User-friendly interior with seven seats suitable for adults; huge boot; loads of standard kit; long warranty Against Performance is only average; some wind noise at motorway speeds; top trim is expensive WHAT CAR? SAYS Kia EV6 Our pick RWD GT-Line List…

1 BMW X5 WHEN CHOOSING A plug-in hybrid, it goes without saying that you want economy and cost-effectiveness, but if you don’t want to compromise on the finer things in life, the X5 xDrive45e is right up your street. It offers the same fantastic interior as any other X5, and is even more refined. Yet it’s cheaper to run than rivals, not least because it can travel a whopping 54 miles on electric power. Our pick xDrive45e M Sport List price £73,425 Target Price £72,156 MPG 217.3 CO2 29g/km For Superb ride and handling balance; excellent infotainment; big pure electric range; low company car tax Against No seven-seat option in our preferred plug-in hybrid form; boot isn’t as big as you’d expect WHAT CAR? SAYS BMW X7 Our pick xDrive40d M Sport…

1 BMW 4 Series Coupé ITS LOOKS MAY be divisive, but whether or not you’re a fan of this 4 Series’ aggressive styling, you’ll love what’s underneath. This is one of the most rewarding driver’s cars in the class and, if you opt for the Pro Pack’s adaptive suspension, it’s also a very comfortable everyday car. In addition, the 4 Series benefits from a wonderful interior with supportive seats and class-leading infotainment. Our pick 420i M Sport (Pro Pack) List price £44,655 Target Price £42,360 MPG 42.2 CO2 151g/km For Rewarding handling; no longer so derivative of 3 Series; high-quality interior; composed ride Against Looks won’t be for everyone; some rivals have larger boots; you hear wind and tyre noise at speed WHAT CAR? SAYS Audi TT Our Pick 40 TFSI Sport…

1 Porsche 718 Cayman IT’D BE EASY to write off the Cayman as a poor man’s 911. It can be bought for as little as half the money, so it must be half the car, right? Well, actually, no; in the ways that matter most, the Cayman is the best sports car on the planet. The only caveat is that you need to go for the GTS model, because this swaps the uncouth engines of lesser versions for a glorious 4.0-litre flat six. Our pick GTS 4.0 List price £70,770 Target Price £70,770 MPG 25.9 CO2 247g/km For Brilliant handling; rich, soulful naturally aspirated six-cylinder GTS engine; classy interior Against Lacks the level of standard kit you’d expect of such a pricey car, both in terms of luxuries and safety WHAT CAR?…

IN DETAIL SAVE £1641 Toyota Corolla WHAT CAR? SAYS Model 1.8 Hybrid Icon Tech List price £28,285 Target Price £26,644 Target PCP £265 If you’re looking to save on your fuel costs and you’re not ready to go fully electric, a hybrid can be the ideal solution – and the Toyota Corolla is one of the best around. It’s remarkably frugal, plus it’s comfortable and very well equipped. Resale values are strong, as is Toyota’s reliability record. SCAN FOR A GREAT DEAL ON THIS CAR SAVE £2294 Alfa Romeo Stelvio WHAT CAR? SAYS Model 2.9 V6 Quadrifoglio List price £79,619 Target Price £77,325 Target PCP £892 With the majority of SUVs, it’s often easy to forget that the ‘S’ in SUV stands for ‘sport’, but not with the Stelvio Quadrifoglio.…

IN 1986, HUEY Lewis and the News told us that it’s hip to be square. Now, there is a chance that they weren’t singing about the boxy Kia Soul EV, but let’s imagine they were, because this small electric SUV looks like nothing else on the road, and that’s kind of hip. Being all straight lines and right angles, the Soul’s shape is good news for interior space; a tall family will be able to fit inside just fine. You’d need to be well over six feet tall to feel cramped in the front, and there’s more space in the back than in Kia’s larger Niro EV family SUV from the class above, even if the seating position is a bit more upright. The flat floor means there’s plenty of…

Lotus Eletre On sale Summer 2023 Price from £99,000 (est) IT’S A LOTUS, Jim, but not as we know it. While you might associate the Lotus name with classic Formula 1 or latterly the Elise sports car, the last thing you’d probably expect the British brand to pin its name to is an electric SUV. And yet, here we are. The Eletre is intended to become the Lotus most people will buy, sitting between the petrol-engined Emira sports car and the upcoming Evija electric supercar. It clearly resonates with What Car? readers, too; in an online poll against 11 other models, the Eletre came out on top, edging out the Polestar 3 electric SUV. While the Eletre is less trackfocused than most of Lotus’s previous models, it still promises to…

FOR DECADES, THE fuel economy of petrol and diesel cars has been a huge consideration for buyers. A few miles per gallon here or there might easily be the difference between you choosing one model or something entirely different. And now, with so many to choose from, efficiency might well drive your decision on which electric vehicle (EV) to pick. While any EV will still be significantly cheaper to run than an equivalent petrol (as long as you mostly charge it up at home), some are more efficient than others, and with energy costs at an all-time high, the differences in how each model hits your wallet might be bigger than you imagine, too. So, which is the efficiency champion? Well, you might assume it’s a tiny EV like the…

PORSCHE IS THE reason why there are What Car? Awards. It started after our editorial staff baulked at the pricey V8-powered 928 scooping the 1978 European Car of the Year award, so we created our own to find a more appropriate winner for the masses. Fast-forward to today and you might be wondering if we’ve lost our marbles by giving an award to a car costing £91,000. But the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is no ordinary car. For starters, it’s electric, making it an absolute boon for company car drivers, because emissions form an important part of the benefit-in-kind (BIK) financial calculations. Since the Cross Turismo doesn’t produce any, it’s far more affordable to run than traditional performance cars such as the Mercedes-AMG E63. There are cheaper Taycans, but the…

Mileage 3468 List price £65,865 Target Price £65,865 Price as tested £63,970 Test range 248 miles AMERICAN JAZZ GREAT Charles Mingus once pointed out that making the simple complicated is commonplace; it’s the reverse that requires genius. And while the infotainment system in my iX3 absolutely shows that genius, I’m afraid its instruments prove the other side of his argument. Like many brands that have swapped traditional dials for a screen, BMW has tried to show a lot of information, which is great in theory. However, the reality is that reading what you need to at a glance can be tricky. I’m grateful, then, that M Sport Pro cars like mine also get a head-up display, which projects the most important info onto the windscreen. Instead of making the complicated…

1 Honda Jazz THE JAZZ IS the small car to beat for passenger space, and its unique and incredibly flexible rear seating only adds to its practicality. It’s neither the most fun car in the class (that’s the Ford Fiesta) nor the most comfortable (that’s the Peugeot 208), but with excellent visibility, it’s definitely easy to drive. Hybrid power also makes it really cheap to fuel, and slow depreciation helps make up for high prices. Our pick 1.5 i-MMD Hybrid SR List price £22,375 Target Price £21,680 MPG 62.8 CO2 102g/km For Remarkably spacious, with great seating flexibility; strong performance; lots of standard kit; holds value well Against Pricey by small car standards; not the quietest cruiser; disappointing infotainment system WHAT CAR? SAYS Skoda Fabia Our pick 1.0 TSI 95 SE…

1 Volkswagen T-Roc THE T-ROC WAS always a fine buy, but this latest version has raised its game to a new level. A soft ride makes it more comfortable than most of its rivals, while its spacious interior is much smarter looking than the previous model’s. In addition, unlike many of its rivals, it has the high-set driving position that many SUV buyers crave. We’d stick with one of the cheaper models; top-spec T-Rocs are too expensive to be a good bet. Our pick 1.0 TSI 110 Life List price £25,810 Target Price £25,063 MPG 47.1 CO2 136g/km For Comfy ride; quiet on the motorway; spacious and well equipped; big boot; high driving position Against Not as much fun to drive as a Ford Puma; top trims are too pricey; touch-sensitive controls…

1 BMW 3 Series THE HYBRID BMW 330e slickly integrates the latest tech with the long-held wants and needs of executive car drivers. It’s easy to live with, has a high-quality interior and is great to drive, yet it’s also cheap to run. When charged, it can officially cover 37 miles on electricity, and it remains fairly frugal when running on petrol power. The resulting low emissions yield huge tax savings for company car drivers. Our pick 330e M Sport (Pro Pack) List price £48,565 Target Price £48,565 MPG 188.3 CO2 35g/km For Great to drive; low emissions and good electric range; high-quality interior; class-leading infotainment Against Smaller boot and petrol tank than regular 3 Series; sporty suspension setup won’t be to all tastes WHAT CAR? SAYS Tesla Model 3 Our pick…

1 Volkswagen Touran THE TOURAN MATCHES the flexibility of huge MPVs such as the Ford Galaxy, with its independently sliding middlerow seats. And despite being a far more compact car, adults fit in all three rows. What’s more, the Touran feels much like a normal hatchback from behind the wheel, thanks to tidy handling and a supple ride. So yes, it exists to offer an abundance of functionality, but that doesn’t define the way it drives at all. Our pick 1.5 TSI 150 SE List price £33,090 Target Price £31,499 MPG 43.1 CO2 149g/km For Compact outside yet spacious inside; seats seven; Isofix child seat mounts on all rear seats; tidy to drive Against Rivals offer more economical engines and more third-row space; automatic gearbox can be hesitant WHAT CAR? SAYS Dacia…

1 BMW 4 Series Convertible LIKE THE COUPÉ on which it’s based, the 4 Series Convertible feels wonderfully balanced, and combines agile handling with impressive comfort if you specify the Pro Pack’s adaptive suspension. It’s also refined with the roof up or down, and surprisingly practical for a car of this sort, offering space for four adults and a good-sized boot. Throw in an upmarket and well-equipped interior and you’ve got a drop-top that’s hard to fault. Our pick 420i M Sport (Pro Pack) List price £49,455 Target Price £45,197 MPG 40.4 CO2 160g/km For Agile and precise handling; comfortable ride; user-friendly infotainment system; classy interior Against Some visibility issues; rear seats fold flat but don’t split; adjustable lumbar support costs extra WHAT CAR? SAYS Fiat 500 Convertible Our pick Icon List…

1 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo THE ALL-ELECTRIC Taycan rewrote the performance car rulebook in 2021, and now the Cross Turismo has raised the bar even higher. It brings greater versatility, courtesy of a bigger boot and roomier rear seats, plus raised suspension that seems tailor-made for battered British roads. Our preferred 4S version is more than fast enough and comes with the larger of the two batteries (a pricey option on the equivalent regular model). Our pick 4S List price £91,055 Target Price £91,055 Range 281 miles CO2 0g/km For Massive and instantaneous performance; remarkably agile; gorgeous interior; more practical than the regular Taycan Against Charging network isn’t as good as Tesla’s; range could be better WHAT CAR? SAYS Audi E-tron GT Our pick quattro List price £84,000 Target Price £83,167…
